Transcript

George 1:33

Hey everybody. Welcome to

Brent 1:34

to

George 1:35

this podcast. Welcome to this podcast. I'm your host slash co-host George Milton. And I'm joined today by Justin Ola. Duh. And then Brent is here too.

Brent 1:50

I'm here. Yeah,

George 1:52

Do you guys wanna kick it off by saying what your favorite color is?

Brent 1:57

Yeah. I'll let you guys kinda lead off with that

Justin 1:59

I think. I'm like a Nice. Like burnt sage.

Brent 2:02

It pretty

George 2:03

good. That's more specific. I was just gonna say green like an asshole.

Justin 2:06

Yeah. No, you gotta get specific when you're talking colors. There's layers to this.

Brent 2:10

I think if I'm gonna say my favorite color, I'm just gonna say I don't believe either of your choices. And I don't have one because I'm not a 12-year-old. Wow. So that

George 2:17

be that

Justin 2:17

Depends on my mood. I need a mood ring. My mood ring tells me what color.

Brent 2:21

I like that.

Justin 2:21

day.

George 2:22

Where's your mood ring? I don't see it on you.

Justin 2:24

You can't see it?

Brent 2:25

Oh he left out a word in between mood and ring. Yep.

Justin 2:30

So

George 2:30

So I thought that this would be a great time to start a podcast.'cause as we know, this is what, 17 years into podcasts existing 23 years into podcasts

Brent 2:40

existing.

George 2:40

There's a ton of money in podcasts.

Brent 2:43

Not a lot of competition.

George 2:44

a lot of competition. Not a lot of competition. None. And we've got a real niche idea, which is

Brent 2:48

not

George 2:49

straight white guys talking to each other about stuff.

Brent 2:55

There you go.

George 2:56

Yeah.

Justin 2:57

big time. Here we come.

George 2:58

Yeah, super dumb. How do you guys feel about that? Super dumb.

Justin 3:02

I love dumb

George 3:03

Yeah, me too. Yeah,

Brent 3:04

me too. Yeah, I think that we are objectively hilarious talking with each other, so if people would like to take time to appreciate that.

George 3:11

I, so I was gonna, I was gonna kick off or either kick off the show or end it with a segment called Name This podcast. I think Dumb Ideas is right up there at the top for me right now.

Brent 3:26

I think we should put a pin in it, because

George 3:27

because

Brent 3:28

if we know, I think that we should end with that.

George 3:30

I'm saying that it actually fits. I I agree with you, but dumb ideas actually fits really good with, Hey, let's name the podcast before we know what it is. That's a pretty dumb idea by itself, right?

Brent 3:44

It is self reflectant. Yeah,

Justin 3:47

Know thyself.

George 3:48

What we're gonna do today is. A dumb idea. We've got some totally unprepared segments and we're just gonna throw some shit at the wall. Also, you can cuss in this podcast. I just decided

Justin 4:00

I love, if I can't cuss, I don't wanna be here.

George 4:04

Is there a rating system for podcast? We don't know anything about podcasts, do we? Everything you know about podcast go.

Brent 4:09

I have listened to at least three or four of them. Yeah. Mostly same.

Justin 4:15

Yeah. They, Some people make a lot of money and then most

George 4:18

people do. They have is there like a rating system for podcasts?

Brent 4:22

I

Justin 4:22

it's fan rated. I don't, but No

George 4:24

I just mean

Justin 4:24

like mature content

George 4:25

Yeah. Yeah. Can we say mature content? Okay. Let's say

Justin 4:29

you're not gonna put this on like the kids' fantasy channel and be like

George 4:32

no Dick butt cock. Now we can't,

Justin 4:36

All you have to say is ear muffs and then you can say

George 4:37

earmuffs.

Justin 4:39

ship balls

George 4:40

ear On ear muffs. How do people know when to un ear muffs?

Brent 4:43

I

Justin 4:43

I We should have a tone. Like we should have a ring or something.

George 4:46

Okay, so I came up with a couple of segments. Justin, you didn't come up with any, because I just told you about this at a one year old's birthday party. Yesterday

Justin 4:55

dragged me and said, do you want to talk on a microphone? I said, sure. Let's do it. Yeah. What could go wrong?

George 4:59

I didn't, even tell you it was a microphone. I just asked if you wanted,

Justin 5:02

can you bring a

George 5:03

I just asked if you wanted to bring a microphone and talk. Brent, you got a couple of two, right?

Brent 5:07

I've got six segments.

George 5:09

Okay. Dive into

Brent 5:10

We don't have to dive into all of them, but yeah.

George 5:12

alright. Do you one of mine first or one of yours first?

Brent 5:15

I, go ahead. Now let's do one of

George 5:17

wait, let's let's actually, hold on. I got a dice.

Brent 5:20

a dice. Okay, good. And dibs on odds.

George 5:23

Odds. Okay. So odds you're gonna do a segment and evens. I'm gonna do a segment. That's right. Okay.

Brent 5:28

Six.

George 5:29

That is even, that's right. That's me.

Brent 5:33

Yeah.

George 5:33

All right. For my first and maybe only segment that I actually have that I actually have somewhat fleshed out is a totally new idea in the podcast space. And it's called, it's a segment that I call drum roll, give advice to random people on Reddit. So for this segment, the, I've gone to the sub Reddit r slash advice where people ask for advice from total strangers on Reddit. And I thought that we could help answer these people's questions.

Justin 6:09

could definitely solve some problems. like World problems.

George 6:11

Yeah. Yeah. In totally legit and not stupid ways.

Brent 6:16

Do you have a question preselected,

George 6:18

have several. I have several preselected. You have some finalists? I have a few finalists. I will say that, it's mostly like dating advice. Love it. And I couldn't find why people are doing this, but everybody always says how old they are and what gender they are. So 28 f or

Brent 6:35

I think that's important. If you're giving relationship advice, I would want different advice at different

George 6:39

Yeah, I guess so. I guess you're right.

Justin 6:41

we can solve this whole pan

George 6:43

situation. So we're gonna, we're gonna give some relation advice primarily to 20 somethings. Love it. So I don't know if any of us even can remember what dating is like. I can't.

Brent 6:52

No. That

Justin 6:52

That

Brent 6:53

makes us very qualified,

George 6:54

unqualified advice. That's another good podcast. I, we just throw those out there

Brent 6:57

Yeah.

Justin 6:58

I like unqualified

George 6:59

Okay. You guys ready for the first one?

Brent 7:01

Look that one.

George 7:03

Okay, here's the title. My boyfriend went to lunch with a girl. We met at a party the day after we met her. Buckle in. We were at a party the other day and there was a girl there that needed a ride home. We gave her a ride there and went up to her, apart to her apartment to use her restroom. The next day I had to work and he had the day off. I got home to find him sleeping, and I asked what he did that day. He told me he slept all morning and then went to lunch with the girl. I'm fine with my boyfriend having friends that are girls, but this seemed extremely odd to me. I felt uncomfortable that they went to lunch without me because they hardly knew each other. He said she asked him to breakfast, but he didn't wake up in time, so instead they went to lunch. I didn't share my thoughts on the matter because I didn't wanna start a fight as we were headed to a restaurant to celebrate my grandma's birthday. Now, I'm not sure what to do or say. I feel uncomfortable about the whole situation. She made the effort to ask him to eat with her the next day, and now they're Facebook friends, but she didn't request me on Facebook. She knows that we are in a relationship. It feels like I'm just overreacting.

Justin 8:12

Are they trying to get into a throttle? I feel

George 8:14

There's I feel like the first paragraph they were like, we gave this girl a ride home from the party, and then she invited us into her apartment. See, I started, yeah, I started, no, I, it didn't give, it didn't give age or gender here, but I'm assuming that the op is a girl and this is her boyfriend.

Brent 8:36

What I would assume. I'm also

George 8:38

assuming that they're, I don't know, 25

Justin 8:41

less.

George 8:41

or less. Or less. It'd be hard to imagine 52 year olds.

Brent 8:44

But it sounds like she's almost answering her own question here. If you really want the true test, she's already going over to her grandmother's house. She needs to have the grandmother take The boyfriend, yeah. And try to seduce him. Yeah, she can.

George 8:57

Yeah. Oh my God.

Justin 8:58

if granny can get in there

Brent 8:59

then,

George 8:59

she's gotta say, okay, so she's gotta say Memaw, which I assume is what she calls her grandma. Yeah. She's gotta say Memaw and then she's gotta recount this whole story and she'd be like, can you try to seduce him? I'm gonna walk out of the room, and I'm gonna give you a wink. So if they're 52, how old is her grandma? 95.

Justin 9:21

She's just seasoned vet at that point. Okay. She's got the moves.

George 9:28

So seriously though, I think that I would get murdered for doing this

Brent 9:32

if I,

George 9:33

if I were you just, if I were the guy. If I were the guy in this situation and you go to a party and then you go to lunch with a girl that you both met at the party the next day,

Justin 9:44

see that's where I'm like, there's something going on. Because

Brent 9:47

you would

Justin 9:48

like a normal, rational human being wouldn't be like, yeah, lemme just go out for lunch with this random chick I just met the night before, unless something happened,

Brent 9:57

I gar a hundred percent. That guy wants to bang that girl. Yeah. That's all there is too, because

George 10:02

I don't know,

Brent 10:02

I would've done that at any point in my life up until the relationship that, that I'm in now. And like now I'd be like, that's ridic. Why would I do that? That's ridiculous. It just,

George 10:10

so here's a, let me throw this counterpoint in here because I think that I think that boyfriend did the wrong thing. We all agree that boyfriend did the wrong

Brent 10:18

thing. Yes. Yeah.

George 10:19

Okay. If you had just met, so let's say let's say me and Aaron went to a party together and we met at the same time, a guy there and I found out that she like had lunch with that guy the next day without me. That would be weird, but if me and the guy hit it off and we were talking about, I don't know, video games or d and d or something stupid sports that we both like, such as badminton or. Froth

Brent 10:51

then

George 10:52

I feel like it wouldn't be, it would be a little weird, but it wouldn't be that weird for me at least, for me to be like, Hey, I went to lunch with this guy.'cause we really hit it off talking about froth and I wanted to like, ask about his disc collection.

Justin 11:06

Yeah. But because you're not trying to sleep with him,

George 11:09

allegedly. But that's okay, right? That doesn't seem

Justin 11:11

That's not as weird. But it's weird It was, like, yeah, he's, you're going and then down the rabbit hole because they would be cool if you guys hung out, but not if Aaron hung out. with'em.

George 11:20

I would be totally fine. If she met, if we both met a girl at a party and then I found out that they hit it off over something and they're having lunch the next day. I'm like thrilled that she's got a friend, like a new friend. I'm thrilled about that. It's thrilling.

Brent 11:35

Yeah, I guess I totally understand your point there. I'm just gonna land on ultimately optics do matter. It's it just I think that. Just because it would be expected to be one way. And it might not necessarily be, there's plenty of situations. For the longest time, like AJ was living with us and I'd go out to work and it's like a guy friend of mine at home alone with my wife for nights and nights on end. Like not a worry in the world, because but

George 11:59

yeah, but AJ's cool and your wife's

Brent 12:01

course, but like I, whenever, if Heidi's hanging out with a new girlfriend, I'm gonna just make the broad assumption that other girl's main motive probably isn't to do her. But if there's a guy, it's why? There's a lot of guys in the world you probably want to do her. Yeah, exactly.

Justin 12:19

No, yeah. They say that guys and girls just can't be friends without some kind of undertone to it.

George 12:24

That's what they say. And when Harry met Sally Yeah. Nineties kids know.

Justin 12:27

I don't a hundred percent agree with that. I think there's instances where you can have good girlfriends, but like most, 99% of the time I think there ends up being something there.

George 12:37

I think in general it's probably healthy to have, to have friends of the opposite sex and not push the boundary when you're like really serious about somebody.

Brent 12:50

clarity I'm only not advocating for someone to go out with someone of the opposite gender that they met the night before. Yeah. And I, that's just

George 12:58

Yeah. The girl at the party, I'll say that the girl at the party is probably the boyfriend is at fault first because he said it sounded like this girl invited him

Brent 13:08

to

George 13:09

which is weird of her to do. That's what I'm, that's like weird of her to

Justin 13:12

why I'm saying something happened at the party. They all got a little too frisky maybe.

George 13:17

Oh yeah, maybe. And

Brent 13:18

if they did then leave that where it is that doesn't give you the, ground to step on

Justin 13:22

something. There's rules to these things.

Brent 13:23

of course. I assume

George 13:26

So this girl is asking for advice. I think that we're probably gonna circle back to this advice of get your grandma to seduce

Brent 13:32

That's what ultimately she has to do. Yeah.

Justin 13:33

that's the way to, that's the move forward Get your grandma to seduce him and see what he

Brent 13:37

Or

George 13:37

least to say or at least to yeah, seduce him out to lunch or something. And not, and not invite the op, not invite the original poster to lunch with her own grandma. See if this guy will go, he's just trolling for it,

Justin 13:51

I think. So

George 13:52

She ends the she ends it by saying it feels like I'm overreacting.

Brent 13:57

No, that's what gives me the biggest clue that they're very young because it's clearly not an overreaction to have

George 14:02

it's the

Brent 14:03

about it. Yeah. It's an appropriate reaction. And if she thinks it's an overreaction, it's because she's not yet used to what those emotions are supposed to feel like.

George 14:10

It is so funny though, when you are, when you're like that age, the age that we're all assuming them to be when you're like. You're like, I, this social situation happened, I'm either gonna be like, way too bent outta shape over it, or not nearly bent outta shape enough.

Brent 14:24

Sure.

George 14:25

And we're all saying that she's not bent outta shape enough.

Brent 14:28

Yeah.

George 14:29

Girl, you need to, maybe not dump him, but at least

Brent 14:32

probably I know I don't think necessarily dump over it, but I think that I would have a talk and say, Hey just so we know what would be considered appropriate, do we, where do we want those lines to be? Anything's okay with a couple of degrees with whatever's. Okay. I don't know what they're, but it sounds like those ob obviously weren't in the normal constructs of their usual relationship, which is why she's asking advice. So just talk is what I always say.

George 14:55

Oh, just talk it out, dang

Justin 14:57

Or,

George 14:58

Or, okay. Hear me out. A talk is the first one on the table.

Justin 15:02

is The first one, but, or you call one of those morning shows that pretend that they're like a flower shop and they like call the boyfriend and be like. Hey, Who do you, where? new flower shop in town. Who do you want us to send free roses to? We're trying to get new business and if he sends it to the girl and not his girlfriend, boom. You got

Brent 15:20

him. Got him. There you go.

George 15:22

Okay. Either way you should get your grandma to seduce this guy and you're not overreacting. He's in the wrong do

Brent 15:29

do you

George 15:29

guys want to

Justin 15:30

You got another one?

George 15:31

I got a couple more questions.

Justin 15:33

All right. Give

George 15:33

I feel like we did, I feel like we hit it outta the park with

Justin 15:36

That was crushed it. We should be professional advice givers.

George 15:39

All right. This one is a little, this one's a little different. Man, I just read a bunch of these the other day, but this one doesn't give the age. Oh, it does. Sorry. It's an edit at the end. Here we go. My parents are telling me an accounting degree is useless and all the jobs will be taken by ai. Here we go. I'm starting university in two weeks and both my parents. Parentheses divorced are telling me that a degree in accounting is useless and all the jobs will end up being taken by ai. I don't believe this is true. I think it's either embrace it, AI as a tool, or get swept away in the job market. They're telling me to go into either healthcare or trades. Parentheses, do something with your hands close. Parentheses. Any advice would be appreciated. How to respond to them when they tell me accounting is stupid. Wait. How to respond. How to respond to them. When they tell me accounting is stupid. That's the sentence. How to respond to them when they tell me accounting is stupid. Or even advice on how to ignore their opinions. Thanks. Edit. I'm 19 F from Ontario, Canada, if that helps it A

Justin 16:49

A It

George 16:50

does not. It does not.

Justin 16:51

not. Accounting is dumb, but we need it.

George 16:57

We do need it. Yeah.

Brent 16:57

Yeah.

Justin 16:58

I think that's the biggest, that's the biggest thing that's going on right now is the question is like, what does AI kill or what does like. We use it for. So it's like young, I would hate to be like young kids trying to figure out what to do with their life.'cause we're still trying to figure out what it's gonna do to our lives and we're old. So it's I think you just have to just pick something you like and just do it the best you can so that you can use the AI how you want to and move forward and not worry about if it's gonna take everything from you or you can just get one of those robots and just call it a day.

George 17:30

Just get one of those robots.

Justin 17:31

Yeah, the little one that walks around and like fights people. On sixth Street,

George 17:34

I have a different I'd have maybe a different take from on college than somebody who got a accounting degree because I got a degree in. Theater studies and with a sorry. Do

Brent 17:46

hell out of that

Justin 17:47

Yeah, that's a great

Brent 17:48

one for you.

George 17:49

a dual major in theater studies and jazz music. So jazz per perform. Jazz fans, jazz. That's part of jazz music. Yeah. So I did not get something useful out of, it's not something now that AI's gonna take, but I didn't really, I wasn't really thinking about the usefulness of my college degree,

Justin 18:11

I think most people aren't, I didn't even go to college and I look at me, I'm kick ass.

George 18:15

You are kicking ass,

Justin 18:16

So I think it's, that's the conversation of what does college even look like in the future? Because so many people are saddled in up to their heads with debt and they're never gonna get out of it with college debt. And then they don't even use their degree. They get like a puppetry

Brent 18:34

degree

Justin 18:35

degree and they don't ever use it for anything. So like sometimes maybe take that gap, bring the gap year back, and let people take a minute to figure out what they wanna do. Or even now with ai, like she's worried about ai, but like ai.

Brent 18:49

You

Justin 18:49

could probably learn a lot more now. So if you self, if you wanna just be self-educated, you could just take the opportunity to just learn something that you actually wanna do without spending a gazillion dollars and just go from there.

Brent 19:01

Yeah, I gotta agree with that. Like ultimately, I don't know how one could even answer the original question that's asked because of exactly what you're saying. Like it's such a rapidly changing and evolving thing that it's just impossible to know, like based on that exponential curvature where it's gonna be anybody's guess at this point, if we're answering the question as best as we could know it though, I think that accounting is gonna turn into a very competitive field because yes, AI will be able to be a tool that can do let one person, yeah, you might need someone to drive the bus on it, but it can let one person do what at a large corporation, it probably would've taken an entire department to do in the past. So whereas those jobs might have been many historically, I think they're gonna be very few. Now, does that mean that you can't still. Make a living out of it. But no, of course not. And if you want to, you can't do it without getting that degree in many of these cases. So if you do it fine, but I think it, it still is gonna make you end up that whatever you're doing, you gotta be the best at it. Like things are gonna be competitive and I think AI is gonna open new fields, it's gonna close certain fields. It's, but none of us can really like get, what's important is that you keep moving forward, in my opinion.

George 20:08

How would we know if AI was doing good accounting? If nobody does accounting in the future, how would we know if,

Brent 20:16

Because that's what I'm saying. Somebody will, and you're gonna need that someone to, because math is math it's pure reviewable and provable and so like someone will need to go in there and ultimately check that out. But using different AI systems that crosscheck each other is gonna even have a much lower margin of error than those humans could. So

George 20:33

what did you do? What did you do in college? What did you get

Brent 20:36

fire protection technology and associate's degree? I was really, I was a souped up firefighter. I have

George 20:41

Nice, yeah,

Brent 20:42

no usage of what I, but my total cost of education was probably like 15,000 bucks. So I, that's the thing is like

Justin 20:49

it, if you're gonna do it till the cheapest version that you can do it at. You don't have to go to some fancy school for

Brent 20:54

Yeah

Justin 20:54

to a state school or go to a,

George 20:56

where does she say, okay, can we maybe

Justin 20:57

it's Canada isn't free school free in

George 20:59

Yeah. She says she's from Canada. She says she's starting university in two weeks. She doesn't say where she's going. We can maybe assume Al also, can I go back to maybe the most unhinged part of this question For me, I'm starting university in two weeks and both my parents parentheses divorced, are telling me the degree in accounting is useless. What is she trying to say with the parentheses? Because I feel like she's trying to say my parents are dumb and they can't really think

Brent 21:26

into, oh I'm not taking it that way. I, and maybe this, I could be totally reading this wrong, but I was almost hearing it more as though she was realizing that sort of, it's not a unified source telling her it's two separate entities that are giving her the same advice that

George 21:42

Oh,

Brent 21:42

necessarily

Justin 21:43

Oh, So they're not on the same team.

George 21:45

I gotcha. That's good. That's actually probably right than mine. My, when I was reading, I was like, why did she put divorce in there? I thought that she was trying to say

Brent 21:53

very well may be

George 21:55

yeah, they're obviously not.

Justin 21:56

Obviously

George 21:57

Yeah. Take this with a grain of salt. They're divorced.

Brent 22:04

Yeah.

George 22:04

No, I like yours better is that they're both telling her separately that her job will be taken about eight. What a, what? Like a wild thing to tell your kid. Of the three of us, Justin, you're the only one who has kids. I know they're not like college age yet, but would you, can you imagine yourself telling your kids don't do that, computers are gonna take your job?

Justin 22:23

No, but we we joke'cause neither me or my wife went to college. Like my wife is a hairstylist. She went to like beauty school and I went to the University of Life. So it is funny, we always have that joke of we're nev we have nothing to stand on If we're gonna be like, you need to go to college.'cause we didn't go and it worked out. All right. So I don't, yeah. I don't think it's going by the time my kids, my oldest is 10, so I got what, like seven, eight years? I, yeah. I don't even know what it's gonna look like. in that. I think I heard this interesting conversation Not that long ago about how the, when the internet came out, it took one of the legs out of the stool of like higher education.'cause now you used to have to go to these higher education places to get the knowledge. Everything was gate kept and it was like hard to get knowledge. So you want, you wanted to learn from the best, but now you have the internet where you can go and get all this information. Look, you go on, I wanna learn something. I'm going to learn how to build all these projects in my house. I just go on YouTube and I learn how to become like this construction builder and do all this stuff. And we build all this stuff in the house. But like now with the AI kicking in, especially give it a few years, all of a sudden that's like the internet supercharged. So like why the inter, the AI will know more than these teachers anyway at a certain point Because they'll be able to go beyond what's human knowledge. So like by that point, will there be college in the same way? I don't know. So I like, maybe get a trade, become a

George 23:53

maybe get a trade,

Justin 23:54

maybe be a welder. Forget accounting.

George 23:56

Also being a welder is cool as shit.

Justin 23:59

dude, they make mad money like right outta welding school. Like I have a couple friends that like, got their kids pushed into the trades instead. they're like, yeah, they don't need to go to college to go to trade. And

George 24:08

God, I wanna learn how to weld.

Justin 24:09

Yeah. It's pretty

George 24:11

have you ever welded

Brent 24:11

No, but I'm just, I'm totally confident could nail it. First try.

George 24:15

right?

Justin 24:16

I could Do one of those crazy welds. just crush it.

George 24:20

Yeah. Dude, I love, there's we're in Austin and there's a lot of like cool stuff. There's welders and stuff around Austin who do, who like do art and trade stuff with it. Because I know you can do like welder. Welder can be like straight up trades. I know we're like off the reservation here. We're are we telling this girl not to go to

Justin 24:37

college? Yeah. Go do a trade.

George 24:39

Do a trade.

Justin 24:39

Yeah. Use your hands. Listen to your parents.

George 24:41

a welder.

Justin 24:42

Be a welder.

George 24:42

Listen to your parents' parentheses, divorce if you wanna.

Brent 24:46

if you want. That's right.

Justin 24:47

Don't follow bad decisions be a welder?

Brent 24:49

You don't need to be the sharpest tool in the shed. Sometimes you can just be the hoe. Yeah,

George 24:53

could be, we're not

Justin 24:55

hoe a show.

George 24:55

know, we are not telling you, ma'am. We're not telling you

Justin 24:59

sugar. Babies are real 19

George 25:01

f We're not telling her to be a hoe. telling her to. It's the oldest

Brent 25:06

in

Justin 25:06

world for a reason.

George 25:07

I thought the oldest profession was salesman. Salesperson, huh?

Justin 25:10

A hooker would be a salesperson.

George 25:12

Yeah. Get out there and get a, learn how to weld,

Brent 25:17

Do welding.

George 25:18

welding. Welding is awesome. And AI can't do welding. Like it can do accounting. Your parents are partially right. These jobs are gonna get taken by ai Probably. We're probably all become a podcaster. Probably, I think.

Justin 25:33

Yeah.'cause they can't replicate

George 25:35

they can't replicate voices. They can't think like us.

Justin 25:39

can't be us.

George 25:40

They can't be us. I'm, maybe, I'm being a little

Brent 25:42

to what I can do with my lips. Let's see a robot do that.

George 25:45

see a robot do that. I'm gonna, I'm gonna have to amp that up in post. But it was really cool. Also obviously parents probably, I'm reading into this a little bit. Her parents, I'm guessing met a lady at a party and then the next day her dad took that lady to lunch.

Brent 26:01

lunch

George 26:02

And that was fucked up. And then they got divorced. Probably.

Justin 26:05

Probably. yeah. Maybe this is a full circle moment.

George 26:07

circle moment. So don't go to college. Go learn how to weld. We nailed it. Watched

Justin 26:13

it again.

George 26:14

I do have I do have one more. You guys wanna do one more? Let's see. Oh, this one is actually fun. Here we go. Parents accidentally ate my edibles and surprisingly enjoyed it.

Justin 26:28

Yeah. Was that mom? Mom, is that you?

George 26:32

I 26 F have been living in the US while my parents both early fifties live in India. I'm currently visiting them for a month and I carried gummies with me. I'm assuming that's weed gummies. I have been getting occasionally high since teen years and it's completely recreational. My Indian parents always saw cannabis as taboo and especially when they caught me in my teens, they were absolutely against it. But since they are quite open-minded, they did their research and just asked me to stay away from smoking it, which is in quotes which was understandable. Also, weed is illegal in India. Eventually I moved out and it never came up again. I gave up smoking weed long ago, but ever since. Us. I take the occasional edibles now. Cut to yesterday. That's what I was cutting to Yesterday. After being home for four days, I accidentally left the gummies packet on my table and my mom thought it's sour gummies and had a couple and also offered dad while I was out meeting my friends. I come home and they are high as shit Now I didn't panic'cause they looked like they were having a great time watching TV and giggling. They were aware they got high, but had absolutely zero paranoia, which was really surprising. Next morning we had a conversation and they said it was quite enjoyable and would like to occasionally try it. Now my concern is these people have been teetotalers and weed free their entire life. Would it be wise for them to start getting high in their fifties? Would it affect their health, especially mental health? Also, they won't get edibles in India, but I do have a friend who bakes pot brownies who can give it to them when I'm not around. I am just confused. They have a great marriage. Our family dynamics are quite healthy, but I just don't want any of this to backfire. I worry about their age, especially if I'm not around. Any advice or help would be appreciated, especially from the parents slash older people. And guys, I hate to tell you, but we qualify as older people.

Justin 28:24

Yeah. I say let them get high.

George 28:27

let parents get high.

Justin 28:28

If they want to do what they want, like this point, let'em go. They got no one home.

George 28:34

I would honestly love to find out that my parents were getting edibles. I would just be happy to know that

Justin 28:42

I, my mom loves edibles. She loves weed gummy, She likes mushy chocolates. My dad likes none of it.

Brent 28:51

So

Justin 28:52

My mom is a good time. We give her a couple, we give her some chocolate or we give her some gummies and she loves it.

Brent 28:58

Yeah. My, my parents are both now stoners, not, while growing up they were always very weed is bad type thing. And then in my early twenties was I really didn't ever have any weed until my early twenties. But then. Started smoking pretty regularly and they were at least acting just abhorred by this at first. But then I never kept it a secret'cause I'm like, I'm a grown up. I can do what I want to. And I managed my life just fine. And eventually they came around and be like, okay, maybe we will have a little, and then come to find out that they used to do more of that back in the seventies, as many did, and yeah, now they're back. Now that they're retired age. And, my dad smokes a good bit of the way through the day and my mom is a before bed type smoker. She'll smoke about an hour before she goes down at night.

Justin 29:44

I think this is when they, when all we weed was starting to become legal in the different states, people like were freaking out. Oh my God, it's gonna make everybody potheads and all this bad stuff. And I was like, no, the people that like wanna Smoke are gonna smoke and the people that don't want to aren't gonna smoke. It's not making you smoke or do edibles. But I think. People like the stigma. I know my mom it was funny because my mom likes it, but she was also like, oh, I can't do this'cause it's illegal. And then when it became legal it was like, let's go.

George 30:13

Yeah.

Brent 30:14

Yeah.

Justin 30:14

So I think more and more people are like, Hey, we have a couple glasses of wine, or we have some whiskey in the evening now we just have a gummy. And it's actually healthier for you than drinking all this alcohol.

George 30:24

Yeah.

Brent 30:24

And so give the parent, buy the parents their own. Yeah. This is an easy one. Their own gummies. Yeah,

Justin 30:29

their own stash.

George 30:30

I thought it was a pretty easy one too. I thought that it was funny that so this girl says 26 and has been I guess started smoking weed in her teens and switched at some point to like edibles and stuff like that. So she's obviously, she's okay with it. She doesn't, she's. Doing, taking edibles and I was about to say, doing edibles, which is like a

Brent 30:51

them, doing'em,

George 30:52

doing edibles,

Justin 30:53

some

George 30:53

Are you doing weed? But she, so she doesn't see a problem with them, but she's like worried about her 50 something year old parents, which is not really, that's not really old enough for you to be worried about their age.

Brent 31:05

No.

Justin 31:06

it's not gonna do anything to'em. If they had a good time, especially I'm just picturing the scene of, hey, we just took some gum, like we saw some gummy candies and we, ate, how many did they eat? Because if I eat one, I'm in the corner like, like eating a bag of Doritos and chilling. Yeah. If

George 31:21

she said that. She said her mom. Hold on, lemme find it. She said her mom found him and had a coup, had a couple.

Justin 31:28

Dang. So she was really high.

Brent 31:31

Yeah. I'm imagining they were probably 10 milligram

Justin 31:33

Yeah.

Brent 31:34

So she like someone that doesn't smoke Dunking 20.

Justin 31:36

that's a lot. man. That is I would be night and I am a big dude like

Brent 31:42

that is

George 31:43

I, that would mess me

Justin 31:44

up That would mess me up. That'd go, that's something that, like a place. I don't want to be in

George 31:49

that. But she would, she mentioned it in here. The original poster said that they were having a good time and didn't have any paranoia, which she said was surprising. I would be surprised that if I made, if I like grabbed two or three and was just like, felt all right,

Brent 32:04

no, I could be okay. But that's because I've got a high tolerance. And also because of, for those of you listening, I'm a six foot four guy with a very muscular lean body in six pack abs.

George 32:14

Abs. Oh yeah. I mean we all are. So you would think, because I have seen your lean six pack abs. I'm surprised actually to hear you say that there are only six of'em.'cause I thought the rest of'em. I

Justin 32:28

I definitely Saw eight. Definitely

Brent 32:29

I

George 32:30

eight. Yeah. I would think that you would with, you're like 4% body fat. You just metabolize it really fast.

Brent 32:35

Yeah. Yeah. That, and I stopped drinking. I switched to these things called, high noon recently. They were yummy.

George 32:40

Yeah. So

Brent 32:41

Yeah. So I just

Justin 32:42

yeah, there's no alcohol in those just go down real good.

George 32:45

Those are smooth.

Justin 32:47

It reminds me of the did you sidetrack talking about drinking. Did you ever did you watch Landman? So Billy Bob goes into the bar and he's like a recovering alcoholic and he's ordering a Michelob Ultra or a Michelob beer. And the guy's I thought you didn't drink. He's this isn't, there's no alcohol. He is there's no alcohol in this beer. He's Let me have six of these and tell me how I am compared if I have six whiskeys. The Guy was like, fair point.

George 33:15

That is a fair, mic Ultra doesn't really have that much alcohol in

Justin 33:17

No, I think it's four.

George 33:19

Okay. So the advice that we're giving her is to chill out and let her parents have some gummies, right?

Brent 33:24

right?

Justin 33:24

Get your parents high

George 33:26

parents

Brent 33:26

be high. Yes.

George 33:27

Yes. Okay. Yeah. Let your parents be high. That's the, those are all the give it, that concludes this version of give advice to random people on Reddit, and I think I wanna do some of Brent's segments. But before we do that, guys, I've got a surprise segment for you. We're gonna cut away for a word from our sponsors. Yeah, be right back. And we're back. I hope you bought some stuff from our sponsors. Okay. I think do you wanna roll the dice? No, let's not roll the dice. You, Brent, you've been patiently waiting. We've given advice to a lot of people on Reddit. Usable advice. I think so. Hit us with some segment ideas.

Brent 37:54

I don't really know how you want me to roll them out. I could give the list with the description of how I envision those, or I could just randomly launch into

George 38:02

let's just do it randomly.

Brent 38:03

I'm gonna,

Justin 38:03

Fuck it. we'll do it live.

George 38:04

randomly. Launch randomly.

Justin 38:06

Launch randomly.

Brent 38:07

I'll randomly launch into the one that is derived from one of the oldest games of time, a segment just simply titled, would You Rather, where we've throw out a ridiculous hypothetical. Okay. And just discuss the, the's, the pros and cons of this. The first one I wrote down was simply, oh man, that's why

Justin 38:24

can't have nice things.

Brent 38:26

Would you rather have your whiskey in your mouth or spilled on the table? I spilled my

George 38:29

whiskey all over the table. Keep

Justin 38:30

Sounds like a good country song. I spilled my whiskey on the

Brent 38:32

table. And she left me. Don't worry, we'll edit out the space here, George. Yeah, no, keep going. You don't have to edit out the space. Oh, he's quick with the towel there. He's quick with the towel. All right. Would you rather be forced to fight fi a swarm, if that's the word? I don't know. A herd of five geese every week. Regular ass geese. But sometimes any random moment in seven days period, once every seven days, just you're gonna be walking outside and a fucking swarm of five geese is just gonna come attack the shit out of you. That happens every week or once a year. You have to fight a kangaroo bare fisted.

Justin 39:13

Ooh, so do we. First question as probably the newest. Member to Austin out of this group.

Brent 39:21

We do not have kangaroos

George 39:22

Yeah.

Justin 39:22

Dang. it. I Do we have geese here?

Brent 39:26

Many Infested with geese because this is the more realistic scenario for

Justin 39:30

from the Northeast

Brent 39:33

and

George 39:33

guys have lots of kangaroos. We

Justin 39:35

kangaroos, lots. They're like wild kangaroos. The geese are gnarly and they are nasty fuckers. So I would definitely like to fight, but I wanna fight that kangaroo. That was like all on steroids. You ever see that one where it was like really

George 39:48

that was like a sad

Justin 39:49

It looked like George. but

Brent 39:51

even the weak ones look like fucking, bodybuilders.

Justin 39:53

I take a once a year good punching over like,

Brent 39:57

But fighting

Justin 39:57

geese.

George 39:58

kangaroo could kill

Brent 39:59

could, yeah. That's the thing is potentially you could die, whereas I don't think five geese are necessarily capable of killing you. Oh man. They're, but man, they would, it would be real, like especially every, if you know what's happening every week, you're constantly. Looking over your shoulder, you just know it's coming in all the time. Just fact, the shit

Justin 40:16

on the lawn would be there every week, I would

Brent 40:18

Oh,

Justin 40:18

the

Brent 40:18

Category. Yeah.

Justin 40:19

I'm all in on the, kangaroo.

Brent 40:20

think

George 40:20

that we gotta do I got another clarifying question too.'cause when you were talking about getting attacked by geese, the way you said it made me think that it was surprise attacked by geese.

Brent 40:30

Yeah. Let's say

George 40:32

attacked by geese?

Justin 40:33

Yes, I think it's

Brent 40:34

surprise, surprise attack. But it could be, it's just a random time. So maybe you're sitting out on a, on, on, on a bench, in a cleared out area, so you can hear and see them coming from quite a ways away. But maybe sometimes you're just like getting outta your car and you're like, ah, fucking geese.

George 40:48

Because you know what? I think, you know what I think changes this whole thing for me is if I can put it on my calendar. It's a different

Brent 40:54

you definitely cannot put it on your

George 40:56

calendar. Okay. But if hypothetically, if I could put it on my calendar, like if I knew, if I, if it's like if it's mid

Brent 41:01

PM every Tuesday I got a

George 41:03

Yeah. Or whatever. Yeah, whatever. Like I could be ready for a goose fight. I also think that I'd be more likely if I knew like November the 17th, you have to one-on-one fight a kangaroo.

Brent 41:14

Yeah. You know

George 41:15

You know what I mean? March,

Justin 41:16

train like rocky

Brent 41:17

train.

George 41:17

Absolutely. I would I still wouldn't feel, I still probably, I'm probably gonna choose geese either way. I

Brent 41:23

I'm probably going geese myself. But then again not to make it on a dark turn, but like I'd started questioning the quality of my life at that point. If I know that's what the rest of my life is gonna look like,

George 41:32

I would say I would. I okay let's do it this way. There's a lot of shit that I have to do every week that I don't really want to do. So fair.

Brent 41:41

fair,

George 41:42

So but because I do it every week, I get a little better at it. You know what I mean? Like it doesn't, it's not that big of a deal like year one

Brent 41:48

you. I don't have that much stuff that I don't like doing in a given week.

Justin 41:51

Here's a,

George 41:52

me when I say that. There's stuff out there that sucks to do.

Justin 41:56

Fun little story. My dad is from Germany and when he moved over when he was 16, they were in Nebraska. They kind ended up in Nebraska where they were sponsored and he worked in a Turkey factory. And so since he was a soccer player, he, his job was to like, hang the birds on the hooks on the line. So he just started

Brent 42:18

after they're dead? No. A lie. Oh no. So

Justin 42:20

is the funny part. So they were, na this is where I'm picturing this would go, is you would have to, like, they would attack him and go after, so he like started kicking them in the head and knocking'em out

Brent 42:31

and

Justin 42:31

he would then hang, them on the thing, which makes sense to me. But then he got fired for kicking them in the head and hanging. I'm like, but that seems like the movie here. If you're fighting geese, kick'em in the head, knock'em out and keep it moving.

Brent 42:42

Yeah. Yeah. That's the thing I feel pretty confident I could, kick and then step on, set head to eliminate the threat pretty quickly.

Justin 42:50

Or they rip your eyes out either way.

Brent 42:54

Anyway we've all decided our thing. So there, there's the segment titled Would You Rather Intent Intentionally Short?

George 43:01

Do you have any other, would you rathers?

Brent 43:03

Oh, sure. I don't think they're necessarily as good though. Would you rather have to scream every time that you whispered or could only whisper every time that you wanted to scream?

George 43:16

Huh.

Brent 43:16

Huh?

Justin 43:18

That's

George 43:19

I do the most.

Justin 43:21

because usually when you whisper you don't want people to know it, so that's the whole thing behind a whisper.

George 43:27

cracked it wide open.

Justin 43:28

I've cracked it wide open. But like, when you wanna I think of this is my dad brain going when I want to yell at my kids to not come in or

Brent 43:35

maybe you need help or,

Justin 43:36

I need help something's happening, but I have to whisper it. Ooh.

Brent 43:40

then you sound rose on the door as the boats float away. Come back. Come back.

Justin 43:43

Never let Jack, Which we all can. Say that they could have both fit on that door. Let's be honest. Yeah. It's been scientifically proven.

George 43:50

Yeah. I think I would probably, so you're going,

Justin 43:52

I'm

George 43:52

rather have to, you're,

Justin 43:53

yelling When you're whispering, I think

George 43:55

rather have to scream all the time

Justin 43:57

loud noises when you want loud noises,

George 44:01

When you wanna scream or need to scream, you need to have it there.

Justin 44:04

I need to have it there because I feel that's more life and death.

George 44:07

Yeah.

Brent 44:07

Yeah. For me, I'm definitely gonna be picking, that I would just scream in the whispers because that means that I can retain my normal scream. And I don't know exactly where we draw the line, but I know that screaming in a general sense is a big part of my job. So I'm

Justin 44:20

he's a scream emo band leader,

Brent 44:22

not so much that but I think a lot of

George 44:24

What are you

Brent 44:24

is hollering adjacent.

George 44:25

A camp counselor?

Brent 44:27

Yeah, I do.

George 44:28

Would you rather have to wear wet socks every day for a year or only be able to eat foods that start with the letter Q for a full month?

Brent 44:41

Wet

Justin 44:42

for a year

George 44:42

sox for a year.

Justin 44:43

What's Q?

George 44:45

Quinoa, you're gonna be filthy in quinoa.

Brent 44:47

Yeah. I think I'm gonna have to fit like

Justin 44:49

Quince.

Brent 44:50

wouldn't wet socks for a year. Basically like via death sentence. I

Justin 44:52

Yeah. It didn't World War ii, That was the whole thing. It is Like they get trenched Foot. and

Brent 44:56

guess I gotta pick whatever the other

George 44:57

It says wet socks every day for a year. So I'm guessing you could dry out, you could probably dry out at night.

Brent 45:02

Could you, could I just choose wear flip flops?

George 45:04

I think that the real

Brent 45:05

flops for a year.

George 45:06

real,

Brent 45:07

I think

George 45:08

the real challenge is name a few foods that start with Q. Quinoa. Quail. Quail.

Justin 45:14

can go full primal here. We can go carnivore diet on some quail

George 45:18

or carnivore. Diet

Brent 45:20

our

Justin 45:20

quail and quinoa. I'm in.

George 45:22

and quinoa.

Brent 45:23

quinoa. I could have aquae quake,

George 45:25

Qua stupid.

Brent 45:28

That's

George 45:29

That's so dumb.

Justin 45:30

It rhymes with chalk.

George 45:32

cholet clet

Justin 45:34

that counts.

George 45:35

could, does it, can I eat it at Cordoba? Yeah, there

Brent 45:38

Yeah.

Justin 45:39

There. You found the loophole here. I think we solved this, this pan. Pan

George 45:42

situation. Solved it. Yeah. It's cues.

Justin 45:44

It's Qs. It's Qs. It's all Qs.

George 45:46

you have a, would you rather Justin,

Brent 45:48

would you rather?

Justin 45:50

Oh, I just had one and then I just lost it. Would you go rather go vegan for a year or eat bacon every single day? And that's the only thing you could eat

George 46:01

That's the only thing you could eat. Yeah, I'd

Brent 46:03

wouldn't that also kill you?

George 46:04

you? I don't know, man. I actually don't know if that would kill you.'cause I feel like the primal people are like,

Justin 46:11

that's their butter Man, thing. I

Brent 46:12

I feel like you're leaving out essential vitamins that you need from vegetables that way. I'm a big meat guy and I'm still going vegan out of those two options. I love bacon, but

George 46:19

I did the hardcore, I did full vegan for a year.

Brent 46:22

wouldn't you just choose that for another year?

Justin 46:23

I've done it. We're going

Brent 46:24

bacon.

George 46:25

we're

Brent 46:25

You've already done a sentence for years. It's go back in the clink for another year.

George 46:29

It was a full year. It was it was hard to do, but also only bacon. If you were to, I thought you were saying

Brent 46:37

Pork,

Justin 46:37

pork, say pork products.

George 46:39

God. I feel sick just hearing

Brent 46:42

suggestion.

George 46:44

Nothing but pork for a year.

Justin 46:45

All I

Brent 46:46

I couldn't do it.

Justin 46:46

Pork barbacoa and pork tacos. Yeah.

George 46:50

Yeah. Yeah.

Brent 46:51

Yeah.

George 46:51

Okay. I think we nailed that segment.

Brent 46:53

I think so. Yeah. So th this one I throw another Cool if throw another segment at you.

George 46:58

Yeah, go ahead. Mine was super long.

Brent 47:00

I devised all mine intentionally to be like, where you could just wrap'em up pretty short, but mainly'cause I did six of'em wanted to just have some options out there. But in the interest of looking for something that could have a pretty easily repeatable thing this I thought might be a fun idea that we start to establish the hall of mediocrity each week or whatever the, each episode we decide that there's gonna be a category that we are gonna have a new inductee into the hall of mediocrity. This will be done by, first, we'll set what that category is and we can even do that the week before, to prep a little bit or really take some time to consider and decide. But then the, so we set the category. Each of us gets to make one nomination for the Medi Hall of mediocrity in this category. Now this can't be someone, obviously that would be too good to be loved or too bad to be hated. Just someone aggressively mediocre, just middle of the road as possible. And then at the end of it, we will have a little open debate and we need to decide unanimously out of the three, which one decides to be inducted into the hall of mediocrity for that week as the crowning

Justin 48:08

Is this like a public figure? Or is this

Brent 48:11

this could be a public figure or a thing, or It could be. Like it, it could be anything like the if I wanted to jump off for the first category I wrote down, like who would be the, inducted into the Hall of Mediocrity as a modern country artist.

Justin 48:28

Ooh, that's a good one.

Brent 48:30

There's just such a menu to choose from. Are

Justin 48:32

we going like the new country that's like hot right

Brent 48:35

Yes. Like the, yeah, like the. The popular radio pop

Justin 48:40

Listen, I got in the country music late in the game. Like I'm very big into a lot of the new stuff, but I do the old stuff. I feel like there was that middle ground that was like really weird, like Florida, Georgia line.

Brent 48:54

Yeah. But I would even consider that like a generation ago. From country. Yeah. I'm, I mean the Morgan Wallens and Luke

Justin 49:01

Don't be talking bad about Morgan. Wallen. I'll

Brent 49:03

see. No, I, you know what, so on the topic, like I will say that is who I'm going to offer up as my inductee or my nominee because of this. Because I don't in any way hate Morgan Wallen. I don't think there's any I think he's a talented guy that has picked songs, or at least his label has picked songs for him that are like, just hits that, that are like hitting the radio. But like him as an individual. He's not a great, he's a fine singer, but he's not doing anything that you couldn't pick a million guys that are doing anything better. He's not bad enough to be hated, but I think that any that, like how popular he is very unearned. And he's like almost the male Taylor Swift right now. And I'm

Justin 49:44

He is. He is the biggest artist. Yeah. That's not like a pop star,

George 49:48

kind of a mailer.

Brent 49:49

he, but I would argue he's totally a pop star who's more of a pop star. He's as much of a pop star as Beyonce is now.

Justin 49:55

But a lot of the, what's funny about that too is because a lot of the, I get into this conversation with a buddy of mine who's like all about old, it's not country music. Country music. I'm like, no. But music evolves, right? Like music evolves and change is always that's the beauty of music is it like, turns into something else, right? Elvis was pop music, but like, Now we look at Elvis and we're like, where's that pop music? And then we have the Backstreet Boys became pop music and then like,

George 50:21

oh, love the Backstreet Boys.

Brent 50:22

doesn't?

Justin 50:23

I want it that way. All the. Time.

Brent 50:25

But by definition pop, this is literally short for popular. It's just whatever's popular

George 50:28

Whoa. Wait, what? Hold on. Are you sure?

Justin 50:31

are you sure?

Brent 50:32

Are you sure? Yeah. But

Justin 50:34

maybe

Brent 50:34

I understand your counter arguments and especially for the fact that you're, that you like Morgan Wall, so that's who I offer up as mine. But everybody should offer up a, and this would be the one I was talking about earlier, that would be better with a little for planning, but without being

George 50:47

I

Brent 50:47

to really

George 50:48

say

Justin 50:48

foreplay. Yeah. I was like,

George 50:49

gonna say foreplay.

Brent 50:50

a

Justin 50:51

with Morgan Wallen? I'm the problem.

Brent 50:52

But off the cuff, if you had to pick a modern country artist, maybe like a Cole Swindell or somebody to, who's,

Justin 50:59

Yeah, that's good. I'm a big Jelly Roll fan, so I'm not gonna say Jelly Roll.

Brent 51:03

See, I couldn't either, because I think Jelly Roll's got I think he's very up there at the top, so like nothing

Justin 51:07

got something authentic, like real. That's what's interesting about someone like him. Like he came on the scene, and he is blown it up, but it's also because it's. I feel like we're getting this like older artist that's hitting the thing and that's lived some shit instead of just like a 20-year-old that's like talking about things that they don't really understand. So

Brent 51:24

you,

Justin 51:25

I would go almost like leaning into some younger country people and who's younger? Let's try to, Luke Combs is cool, but he like basically got famous off a Tracy Chapman song. So like I'll throw him out there even though I like it and I'll sing to it and I'll make George sing to it.

Brent 51:45

I don't know if

George 51:46

I don't know if I know enough modern country artists to

Brent 51:48

Fair enough. And that's why like I was thinking like maybe this category wasn't necessarily the,

Justin 51:51

but I would say Florida, Georgia line, that's, I know it's not the in the same generation, but like those always, I hate that generation of country. I think that generation country

Brent 52:00

is, I would say you have definitely won me over just by the mention of Florida, Georgia line. I, I really, because I don't, but I would also, I think the only reason that maybe that you

George 52:09

Florida, of Georgia line was,

Brent 52:11

is because you're saying you hate them. So they're not neutral enough. If they're hateable, then they're not, I guess they're not medioc.

Justin 52:16

A strong word. We don't like to use hate in my

Brent 52:17

household.

Justin 52:18

thing. It's we don't use that. But

George 52:19

you've come to my household

Justin 52:21

come to George's house, so I can say hate earmuffs, Cock shit balls hate.

Brent 52:25

But see I think that they are very mediocre. I don't hate them because they've got a they're catering to the middle of the road. Like they get a little bit of the rap type of stuff in there. Their melodies are like inarguably catchy. You can't pretend that they don't have ke because they're almost like scientifically calculated to be, so there's not any art to it almost, it's just, it's so pandering to the lowest common denominator that I think it's just as mediocre as could be. I don't hate them. I think it's like decently constructed stuff with a brand that makes sense for its own thing and they're nothing more than

George 52:54

I was gonna say Taylor Swift, but I, that's'cause I don't know that many country artists and I just wanted to, I just wanted to start shit.'cause everybody's Taylor

Justin 53:02

and her Red era, so

Brent 53:04

since we're if we wanted to put the cap in it by officially inducting someone into the hall of mediocrity, I'd throw my vote towards Florida, Georgia line. I'm okay with that. Yeah.

George 53:13

Okay.

Justin 53:13

unless they brought Nelly into the conversation, we don't

Brent 53:15

wanna and

George 53:17

They did the cruise song, right? That was them. Yeah. Yeah. Those were

Justin 53:20

Yeah.

Brent 53:22

And this is how we roll.

Justin 53:25

oh,

George 53:26

it's

Justin 53:26

They're very ear buggy. But it is interesting to see country music is the popular music right now in a weird way. Like the new country you have all the artists doing I'm all about this posty life with his country stuff. And like even he's saying that his next album's gonna be even more old school country, which will be interesting to see.

Brent 53:44

I like that guy. Yeah,

Justin 53:46

dude, his stuff is, yeah, he's a good dude. And I've saw the show twice this summer.

Brent 53:49

Yeah. He just he's got good music. He's talented and he just does seem like just one of the most chill down to earth real ass dudes, in the,

Justin 53:55

can play every single instrument,

George 53:57

We're not putting him in the hall, right?

Justin 53:59

No. We're putting the hall. of Greatness.

Brent 54:01

he is. He we're just giving a nod. And we have our

Justin 54:03

talking music. We just went into

Brent 54:05

music.

George 54:06

we put

Justin 54:06

our subcategory of name, that song. So

George 54:10

put Flo, we put Florida, Georgia Line

Justin 54:12

They're in that hall of.

Brent 54:14

Congratulations to Florida, Georgia Line as our first official inductee to the hall of mediocrity. How

George 54:20

would you feel if they were the first people who listened congrat?

Brent 54:23

listen to this?

Justin 54:24

They just,

Brent 54:24

I think they'd be honored. This is a

Justin 54:25

is like getting a razzy, you're like, this is like Hailey Holly Berry showing up to the Razzy Awards, accepting for Catwoman. It's yeah, I got my award. I'll take

George 54:33

Oh yeah.

Justin 54:34

I just saw an article it isn in the same genre, is that they, people like voted Home. You know that song by Edward Sharp and Magnetic Zeros? Yeah. As like the worst song ever made or something like that.

Brent 54:46

good. I didn't know people. I also hate that song. I didn't realize other people did too. It's catchy

Justin 54:50

though. That's a fun

George 54:51

It's a little do. That's the little duet one, right? It's a little cute duet, like

Justin 54:55

Alabama, Arkansas. It's talking about the whole stomp clap movement of music, which

George 55:04

the whole oh, what was the band? Mumford Lumineers and

Justin 55:07

Mumford, of mice and Men, but Mumford's still crushing it, so

George 55:12

I loved Mumford and Sons.

Justin 55:14

still love Munford and Sun.

Brent 55:15

they watched my show for three hours one night. Really? That's awesome.

George 55:19

That's pretty cool.

Brent 55:20

during F1 they were like, we always get a bunch of people during F1, but they came in there and Did anyone

Justin 55:24

request a song while they were there?

Brent 55:26

Yes. Who

George 55:27

was taller? Was it

Brent 55:28

it.

Justin 55:28

would do it. Oh, you pussed out.

Brent 55:30

out. I bus out. I don't if I knew their material better than I would, but it's like it, I know their stuff well enough to get through it for a request. Yeah. But if the actual person was there, it would shine light on all the parts that I've just brush learned and didn't really know and I'd feel like a hack, so I didn't wanna do

Justin 55:45

but

George 55:45

dude, I would love to have the experience of butchering some, like a famous

Brent 55:49

person

George 55:50

song in front of them. Like how many people can say that?

Justin 55:53

Have you ever seen the videos where the artist butchers the song? Like where they're walking? Oh like I saw this one with teddy swims and some. Street Busker was like singing lose control. Oh. did he and he couldn't remember the words. Yeah.

Brent 56:06

I saw

Justin 56:06

and I love him, and I was like, that is amazing. You don't know your own song.

George 56:12

That's pretty funny.

Brent 56:12

What other segments you have?

George 56:14

I had a very loosely constructed segment called Local Love and, it's just that I wanted to help people on Craigslist who missed some connections. Yes. Find their connect, find their connections. And I really think that, like I'm, I unfortunately just realized that I'm guiding us towards being a romance advice podcast, which is not my intention, but god damn there are some really terrible misconnections on Austin. Do you guys know that Craigslist is still alive and it still looks exactly the same as it did 30 years

Justin 56:46

That's the biggest thing is that it looks the same.

George 56:48

same. It's the

Brent 56:49

Yeah. They haven't updated any graphics to the

George 56:51

no graphics of it that, you know what? It's pure like that. If you wanna know what the internet looked like was like view what the internet was like, go to Craigslist. But there's a few. I was I didn't I didn't save a bunch of these, but let me just tell you about what's let's happening in Austin.

Brent 57:09

should, we should know

George 57:09

just want you to hear, and this is all in missed connections. This was posted three days ago, guys. So it is possible if we can get this out in the world. Selective. Yeah. That we could get this connection, we could change the world. Title girl, you smell so good. Austin, HEB burn it. And 22. 22. So that's the location. I was the man behind you in the checkout line Tuesday. I'm about six eight with long, curly gray hair,

Brent 57:35

too tall

George 57:36

and wore moccasins in a tank top that night. You may have seen me dump a huge can of popcorn on a guy in a wheelchair, and then sprint out of the store. I hope you remember me. I would love to take you out for fish and chip somewhere. Even a corn dog joint would be fun. Let's do this soon, please. I'm anxious. I'll never see you again or worse. Smell you again. I can almost smell you right now. Oh my God, that's nice.

Justin 58:03

Did you write this yourself?

George 58:05

I wish.

Brent 58:06

Wait, are we commenting on this as though it's not fairytale made up by somebody as a creative writing exercise or.

George 58:15

or

Justin 58:16

cha GPT Write me

George 58:18

Here's the thing is I'm really not sure. You know what I mean? Like I'm, I think that the thing about dumping a huge can of popcorn on a guy, maybe,

Brent 58:26

Who's gonna what possible reason for per a disabled person to do such a thing?

Justin 58:35

What's funny to me is, I was thinking when you were reading too, I was like, okay, yeah you're just talking about how Craigslist has never changed, but

Brent 58:42

like

Justin 58:43

you're, who's writing on Craigslist anymore? And then this guy described himself and I was like, ah, that

Brent 58:49

does sound like the type of person

Justin 58:50

who yeah, he's still in it.

George 58:52

I've all, I've just always enjoyed reading, missed connections on Craigslist. Oh yeah. Yeah. Like

Brent 58:57

I would

George 58:57

I would

Justin 58:58

I remember in New York, it'd be like, oh, I saw you on a subway at 8:00 AM Call me. And you're like, okay.

Brent 59:05

Okay. So

George 59:06

maybe the segment, maybe the question is real or fake. Real or fake. Yeah. Real or

Justin 59:10

fake? Yeah. Real or fake?

George 59:12

Probably fake, right?

Justin 59:13

one feels a little fake to me. The dumping the popcorn on the thing. Moccasins in the jeans.

Brent 59:19

Too much ridiculous at one time. Yeah. As a way of asking for somebody's attention. That's,

Justin 59:23

and also you're creepy. You're like, you smell so good

Brent 59:26

girl.

George 59:26

Yeah. Fish and chips is I like the fish and chips. That feels real.

Justin 59:31

Doesn't like some good fish

Brent 59:32

and chips. Everybody loves

George 59:32

fish and chips. Corn dog stand. Let's go to a corn dog joint. That sounds like a joke.

Justin 59:38

In California, they have a hot dog on a stick, so that's like a thing. that's

George 59:42

That's a corn. A corn dog.

Brent 59:45

Yeah, it's

Justin 59:45

corn dog Stand, like famous corn dog. stand. You like go to the,

George 59:48

Oh, is that the name of the corn dog stand? Hot dog. And a

Justin 59:50

stick. Yeah. They either do corn dogs or

George 59:52

I thought you were, I thought you were telling me corn dog like a hot dog and a stick

Brent 59:56

I, I was envisioning like a hot dog constructed and then they just ran a

George 59:58

Just ran it. What's

Brent 59:59

through it. I'm like, what's this

Justin 1:00:00

no, Bucky's. Got the sausage on a stick wrapped in a tortilla.

Brent 1:00:04

Sure. Down.

Justin 1:00:04

So yeah, I, Now I'm hungry. Let's go. Yeah. The stick is unnecessary. in that I'm like, you this giant, so we, yeah. Why do we need the stick with

Brent 1:00:12

this? Yeah. That's the point of a tortilla. Yeah. Is that it acts as

Justin 1:00:14

Feel like they just took it to the next level, which Bucky's does.

George 1:00:16

hamburger on a stick

Justin 1:00:19

That'd be hard. That's like a kfka kebab

Brent 1:00:22

cheese stick. Hear me out

George 1:00:23

on a stick.

Justin 1:00:25

Yeah. A hot dog on a stick has a, cheese

Brent 1:00:27

there you go.

Justin 1:00:27

cheese stick. Actually, the best thing on a stick I've this should be the second best thing I've ever eaten on a stick. I was at a twins game at their stadium in Minnesota and they had giant bacon on a stick. So it was like this huge foot long piece of thick cut bacon like on a stick. And I was like, this is the best

George 1:00:45

dude. you've got bacon on the brain. This is like

Justin 1:00:47

I need to go cook some bacon.

George 1:00:48

Keep coming up with bacon.

Justin 1:00:49

It is the greatest food ever made. You could put it with anything. You could put it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, cocktails.

George 1:00:55

Wait, did you say that hot dog and a stick does cheese? Yeah. Is it hot? Is it hot dog then cheese then?

Justin 1:01:01

it's like a big chunk of cheese dipped in the batter and fried.

George 1:01:05

Oh, so they just do what Brent said. It's just cheese stick on a stick.

Justin 1:01:09

Yeah, but it's delicious. But it's not gluten-free'cause they put the batter on it. So if you're gluten-free you can't have it. Sorry.

George 1:01:14

I am not.

Brent 1:01:15

Me neither. Let's do it. Yeah.

George 1:01:18

Wait, here's another one. Guy buying boxes at Home Depot.

Brent 1:01:24

Sounds real so far.

George 1:01:25

real so far,

Justin 1:01:26

in. That was me. Okay.

Brent 1:01:28

I've been there.

George 1:01:29

Yeah. We exchanged glances while the workers tried to fix your broken checkout machine outside. I joked with you about it and got your number. When I went to text you, I accidentally highlighted and deleted your number before I could hit send. I've never posted one of these before, but I hope you see this because I definitely felt a connection. Tell me what kind of car you drive so I know it's you. Smiley face.

Justin 1:01:55

I feel like this is real.

George 1:01:58

Feels real.

Brent 1:01:59

Feels real.

Justin 1:02:00

Feels

Brent 1:02:00

real to me.

Justin 1:02:01

But like the guy's probably yo, she ghosted me.

Brent 1:02:05

He said that

George 1:02:06

He said that he went to text her.

Justin 1:02:09

Oh, he text her? She's definitely Gave a fake number.

George 1:02:12

He, no, hold on. He said outside. I joked with you about it and got your number. So he got her number. It's not a creepy, like I saw you,

Brent 1:02:21

typed it in is when

George 1:02:22

he said, when I went to text you, I accidentally highlighted and deleted your number before I could hit send. How?

Brent 1:02:30

how he doesn't

Justin 1:02:31

understand that Command X thing. to

Brent 1:02:33

Yeah, maybe not, but here's the question that I would have though. If he was like, they were trying to fix her register, does that mean she works there? And if she does, couldn't he just go back?

George 1:02:43

Oh, good. Yeah, I just go back, man.

Justin 1:02:47

go back to the Home Depot.

George 1:02:49

He says

Brent 1:02:50

she was there as a customer and using one of those goddamn self checkouts. Oh, and maybe

George 1:02:54

hold on. It says we compete. We can piece this together. We've got all the,

Brent 1:02:58

need. Yeah.

George 1:02:59

we got all the clues we exchanged let's see. Guy buying ho boxes at Home Depot. I'm guessing that's the poster, is the guy,

Brent 1:03:06

Yes.

George 1:03:06

We exchanged glances while the worker, while the workers tried to fix your broken

Brent 1:03:10

check. Yeah. See?

George 1:03:11

And then he said outside, I joked about it with you. So he dis distinguishes her from the workers and then they talked outside. So they don't, she doesn't work there.

Brent 1:03:20

So I'll just cut two on this one. He's never gonna see her again. Never talk to her again. So

George 1:03:26

he is never gonna see her again. it's

Justin 1:03:27

This is over. I'm sorry. You lost the love of your

George 1:03:30

not

Brent 1:03:30

She's not one of the 117 people that are gonna browse a misconnections

George 1:03:34

No. Yeah. When you don't text her, you know what she's gonna think? She's gonna just think that

Brent 1:03:38

you're Jewish. Yeah.

George 1:03:40

Okay. So it's real and

Brent 1:03:42

it's real and he's never gonna talk to

George 1:03:44

and you're never gonna talk again. Sorry about that. Let's let's pick another one. Let's see. Georgetown Hospital black nurse. Not gonna touch it. Super cuts. You guys stop me when you Supercuts far West engine work. M four F radio East. Phone interview. Nice buns.

Justin 1:04:06

George 1:04:08

Or wait, the one after it is all out of grass and ass.

Justin 1:04:12

George 1:04:28

So you don't cuss. And then the, this is the body, this is the body of the post. Saw you getting gas.

Brent 1:04:38

Wow. Feel like he

Justin 1:04:39

narrowed that one down. Yeah. I feel like

George 1:04:41

So

Brent 1:04:42

That's just someone that just wanted to type something on the

George 1:04:44

Yeah.

Brent 1:04:44

that's not even

Justin 1:04:45

lives in his mom's basement. And was just

George 1:04:48

this person needs a

Brent 1:04:49

I

Justin 1:04:49

creepy. He's

Brent 1:04:50

I got

Justin 1:04:50

out the window

Brent 1:04:51

Justin 1:05:41

I'm more curious. on

George 1:05:42

is White Rivian a store? Is that the name of a store? No,

Justin 1:05:45

like a white Rivian truck.

Brent 1:05:47

Okay. It's a

new Tesla competitor.

George 1:05:49

I I know about Rivian guys. It's

Justin 1:05:56

tell us all about it.

George 1:05:57

It's a what'd you say? Competitor? It's a, anyway, it's a car brand, right? And it's the cars that they go when you drive

Justin 1:06:08

they go room, the river.

George 1:06:09

They convert into a river car. The rivian, they

Justin 1:06:12

float down the river. they float down the

George 1:06:13

They float down the river. And anyway, this guy's got one that was a stupid one.

Justin 1:06:17

I wanna e now I want, curious about if Craigslist keeps a track of like, how many of these encounters actually

George 1:06:25

same. Same. If you should be able to go back and click the button.

Justin 1:06:29

Found success

George 1:06:30

connected,

Justin 1:06:32

We've been connected.

George 1:06:32

And then Craigslist could be like 18 connections made since 1980.

Brent 1:06:39

they need to gamify it so you can actually like, get points for helping people

Justin 1:06:42

bet you did you probably, it probably hit more back in the day when it first started because people didn't have.

Brent 1:06:47

No, there were no options. It made sense back in the day. It's hilarious that it's even still,

George 1:06:50

But what is the, what is like the, I mean is there like a modern, a more modern analog for missed connections like. If I'm a, if I'm a six foot eight guy who smelled somebody in line at the grocery

Justin 1:07:03

yeah. You call the cops and you're like, Hey, could I have the mugshot of this guy?

George 1:07:08

How else do you do it? What's the other way to do it besides missed connections?

Justin 1:07:12

I

Brent 1:07:12

know. I don't think there really is a way,

George 1:07:14

because it's not a

Justin 1:07:15

Instagram stories you put it on Instagram

George 1:07:17

it's not a problem anybody's trying to solve. Yeah.

Brent 1:07:19

I think it's also one of those things that maybe the idea of it was popular for a little bit, but now we've more come to the realization that yeah, there's dozens of missed connections happening at all times. So who gives a shit? The ones that you make are the ones that matter, not the ones that you miss.

George 1:07:33

Yeah, that's the, that's that whole section, that's a whole, that's the whole segment is just

Justin 1:07:38

this might have been our best section.

Brent 1:07:39

So the la last one I'll mention for the like I had another idea, but I don't think it'd be as fun for today. But because it doesn't even fit the flow, the one that I think would fit the flow a little better, that might be good to prepare for next time we want to have a meetup with it is'cause this would with the line of work that you're into still fit, but in opposition to the classic game of two truths and a lie, what if we like flip that on its head and do it more individually specific by doing two lies in a gig where like in my case tell you about three incidences, three small anecdotes of things that have happened on stage with customers or whatever. Just crazy occurrences. Two of these will be bullshit and you guys have to detect out of these stories, which one actually happened out of the three,

George 1:08:22

how many of those would you say you have?

Brent 1:08:24

Oh,

George 1:08:25

okay.

Brent 1:08:25

many.

George 1:08:26

I could maybe come up with a handful, but I feel like I forget that stuff

Brent 1:08:30

But again, not every segment needs to be something that can be replicated all the time. Like most of the successful, like kinda morning drive type shows, we'll have these segments that they might throw out there. Like once every,

George 1:08:40

you have, can you do you have a,

Brent 1:08:42

could I do a sample one? Is that what

George 1:08:43

do a sample one?

Brent 1:08:44

Yeah. So I wrote down just by title.

George 1:08:46

wait, before we start, I want to give our one listener who is a member of the band Florida, Georgia line.

Brent 1:08:53

Yeah, that's right.

George 1:08:54

A little context that Brent is a entertainer, a professional musician, and has been doing that for

Justin 1:09:01

15 years.

George 1:09:02

15 years. 15 years, so you've got a lot of gigs under your belt. A lot of these kind of experiences under

Brent 1:09:07

your belt. Yeah. I perform usually five nights a week, so

George 1:09:09

yeah, so like thousands and thousands. I've done a bunch of nights too, but I've say I would say that you've probably done five to 10 times more nights than I have just in, in your life. So you've probably got a shitload of these up your sleeve. I just wanted to give the context of like, all of these, of, all of these could be true. I think.

Brent 1:09:30

They could, my worry with this one is that maybe you've heard the one that's true. Maybe I've heard it. Maybe you've heard the

George 1:09:35

I'll recuse myself. I recuse myself

Brent 1:09:37

was say yeah no, but if you, if I get to the end and you've not heard any of these, feel free. But, but but there's plenty of other examples that could be made. But so I'll give you three different stories here that all involved. Something that I was doing on stage with it and, I'll just kind keep'em shortened to the fact. One of'em I've just titled proposal Gone Wrong. This was on a Saturday night over at Pete's, and there was a couple that had been sitting in the front row right beside the stage. For those that don't know the bar, it's a pretty short stage set up that has a row of tables immediately in front of it that the people in those tables, if they wanted to, could just simply step up on the stage. So one of the guys the guy that was in this couple decided that he was gonna pass me a note with a$20 bill on it to do a call down that he wanted to propose to his girlfriend that night. We've done these before. It's not like unusual to do a proposal, but the thing that was funny about this one is just proposal gone wrong. He gets up there in the middle of it and they start, they, we start him off with a slow dance in the middle of this thing. He gets down on one knee and she like, as soon as she pretty much realizes what's going on, she just leaves the stage and leaves out the entire bar. And the guy like, you're all thinking he's probably gonna roll too. Nope. He sits back down at the front table not shit happened and continues getting drunk for the rest of the night.

George 1:10:51

Man, that sounds super real.

Justin 1:10:53

Listen, If you're in the bar, and that goes wrong. I'm still drinking. Like

Brent 1:10:57

It's a bold move to sit there. All right

George 1:10:58

so that's a,

Brent 1:10:59

yeah. Second incident is what I've titled the Naked Cowboy incident. A little bit of a mistitled, but basically this was a guy that just got up cowboy hat and boots and we were doing the song, I'm Too Sexy By Right Said Fred. All that I told him to do was take off his shirt. He did do that, but then told him to take off the hat. Takes off the hat, and then he starts getting down, pull, pulls the boots off, and then on his own volition without me asking him to takes off the pants again. This has been done before. That's fine. The problem here is that when he goes to climb up on top of the pianos, this probably I'll say. Late fifties, early sixties guy that's wearing like fruit of the loom, tidy whitey styles, climbs up on the piano and there's a noticeable brown stain right between the cheeks Oh. That everybody in the entire crowd notices. So he gets up there and does this dance gets back off of the stage.

George 1:11:50

Wait,'cause you're saying that the premise of this is that only one of these is gonna be true.

Brent 1:11:54

one of these is actually

Justin 1:11:55

These all

George 1:11:55

man. You're really delivering,

Justin 1:11:57

really in depth here.

Brent 1:11:59

Yeah. The third incident would be that there was, another very commonly reoccurring thing is people, because the stage is small and we do a very interactive show with the crowd, people will sometimes just invite themselves on stage in ways that, other shows don't necessarily have a problem with. And this particular case, this one guy kept getting up on stage on a very busy night, like standing room only, just everybody was packed in like sardines. And while we were trying to do a band set, now we were doing this on Crazy Train with Ozzy Osborne, and I'm getting to my guitar solo and this guy once again. Hops up on stage at the one point of the whole song, really, that I would've liked to actually have the spotlight. He jumps right up in front of me, like standing directly in front of the stage. So I do my best. Gerard Butler, Andry, this is Sparta. And I kicked the shit out of him over in the crowd. I did a gentle, it was more of a push, but it very much to the crowd would've looked like a kick. But I, he got a good launch off of it and just sailed off into the crowd. And the other guys that I worked with thought that was the funniest incident of all time. So anyway, two of those incidents are real, or I'm sorry, one of, one of those is real. Two of those didn't actually happen, but were probably inspired

Justin 1:13:08

Two of'em didn't happen.

Brent 1:13:09

of

George 1:13:10

I really want you to be a dramatic actor'cause these monologues are so

Brent 1:13:13

confusing.

Justin 1:13:14

Yeah. I feel like all of this happened.

George 1:13:16

Yeah. I feel like I was there for it, man. I want the brown stand to be the real one. I want the shit stand to be the real one. I don't know. Where are you leaning?

Justin 1:13:25

I feel like you didn't kick the guy off the stage.

George 1:13:28

Are you trying to, I feel like

Justin 1:13:29

coming to, I'm like Sherlock Holmes.

George 1:13:31

That's the one that I, that's the one

Brent 1:13:32

I would, the way to do it probably is to try to eliminate the ones Yeah. That, that are most obviously not it.

George 1:13:38

the marriage proposal, I've actually seen, so I've also done the same job as Brent. Yeah. Just not for as many. Not as nearly as many times. And I have seen marriage proposals gone wrong in all kinds of ways. That one sounds super like relatable and real to me. There's nothing crazy about

Brent 1:14:00

No. It is mainly just the fact of a guy sitting in the most visible spot of the whole bar while 300 people look at your failure and not leave.

Justin 1:14:07

If he was really drunk, I could see him doing that. and He was just like,

Brent 1:14:10

He at least got really drunk.

George 1:14:12

Yeah. Yeah. It sounds real

Justin 1:14:14

one sounds

George 1:14:16

the, I've also seen people take off way too many clothes. The shit stain is a, I feel like the shit stain really, like if I was making one up, I would be like, oh, and there was a shit stain. feel like maybe that's a made up one. I feel like I would rule out shit stain just because it's fantastical, but God, I want that to be the real one. What do you think about shit stain, Justin? If we, I, let's agree on one that,

Justin 1:14:42

one's the real one?

George 1:14:43

Let's just agree first on one that we're gonna ax.

Brent 1:14:46

we're

Justin 1:14:46

We're asking a few questions.

George 1:14:48

Okay.

Justin 1:14:49

We're axing the kicking off the stage.

Brent 1:14:51

Okay. We're

George 1:14:51

axing that one.'cause that I feel like that one could be real too, because I know that Brent's co I know Brent's coworkers and I know that they would love that.

Brent 1:15:02

That's true. They would love that.

George 1:15:03

almost

Justin 1:15:03

Yeah. But that's like a walking liability. I'm thinking I'm thinking because that front of Pete's there, like he would go into like that, those tables. Yeah, into the people and it would be a big scene. So you,

Brent 1:15:14

There's a line of tables, but there's gaps too. So while I'm giving context here, so this was in the corner where the gap was. So there wasn't any tables, but there were lots of people which people

Justin 1:15:22

Were you on

George 1:15:23

Oh, we grilling him on it. Can we grill him on it?

Brent 1:15:25

On the A side, which, or the left side. Looking from the crowd. But that's the one I'm always on.'cause that's where the

George 1:15:30

it is the one he

Brent 1:15:31

I don't know, I don't ever change sides.

Justin 1:15:33

So you don't play for the opposite side?

Brent 1:15:35

Good. Okay.

George 1:15:37

Oh man, I'm gonna, man, I'm gonna say. Wait, hold on. There's marriage proposal. Shit. Stain and Sparta kick. Yeah. Are we acting Sparta Kick? I'll act. Sparta Kick. Yeah. It sounds, I was gonna vote for Sparta kick my like rank of most to least likely is marriage proposal gone wrong? I think is most likely Sparta kick second most likely. And then shit staying third most likely.

Brent 1:16:04

All right, let's, but the one you want the most. The

George 1:16:06

that the one I want the most is the one I think is the least likely. Yeah. But I'd be so excited to I, okay. Alright. Wait, let's, instead of us working together, can we work against each other? And

Brent 1:16:17

Yeah, that's what I thought. I thought it'd be better to have you guys like pick your own,

George 1:16:20

I wanna win.

Brent 1:16:20

like somebody can make claim to

Justin 1:16:22

It's on bitch.

Brent 1:16:23

whoever wants to claim this is the one I'm on. First

George 1:16:26

Okay, you know what? Because I want it to be real, I'm gonna vote shit stain, even though I think it's the

Justin 1:16:30

I'll go with marriage proposal.

Brent 1:16:32

Alright, then here's the big reveal.

Justin 1:16:34

big

George 1:16:34

Big reveal.

Brent 1:16:35

The, this is Sparta is the real story. David

George 1:16:38

guys.

Justin 1:16:39

damnit. The first, one I thought would definitely not be real.

Brent 1:16:42

Now the other

Justin 1:16:43

part sing this part where he was Where you kicked him off.

Brent 1:16:46

The, other parts have definitely, as George is saying, like lots of inspiration from real events in there, but holy aren't true. Whereas the Sparta one is exactly as described. But no, the crowd got a good laugh out of it too because it definitely wasn't like a violent kick. I think everybody in the room was unanimously annoyed by how often this guy was getting up on stage.

Justin 1:17:04

was he hammered?

Brent 1:17:05

Probably, but not like belligerently. But it was enough that whenever I like on the mic, just like coming into the solo that I'm just like, because it's a rock song and you got the energy and I'm just like, this is far. It's and it was all his boys that were right there. So all the guys that he fell on, it was almost like a stage dive. Like they caught him, and he didn't get back up on stage anymore after that too. So it was just overall it was a put

Justin 1:17:24

your ass.

Brent 1:17:25

Yeah. But that was probably now eight years ago there that was like a pretty like earlier moment of in my tenure at the club. And there's never been a moment that's really occurred that. That it would've landed as well. Everything was really situational for it to have made sense. Then

Justin 1:17:39

What is the wildest thing

Brent 1:17:42

that's happened

Justin 1:17:42

happened at the club?

Brent 1:17:43

would've a hard time really putting a pin down on that one'cause so much of it does blur together. But usually just thinking of one thing will give me like a memory of something else and I can go, okay, so that's kinda how I did this was I just thought of one thing and I was like let me make up a couple other stories that are both very believable. So anyway, as a segment I could replicate this exercise a hundred times. No problem.

George 1:18:05

I'm excited to hear all hundred of

Brent 1:18:07

Yes. I

Justin 1:18:08

I would like to, I want to get one.

Brent 1:18:09

Alright, so we can just make it a segment then where I'll just do this and

Justin 1:18:11

Yeah, you try to get

Brent 1:18:13

fine. This will be a me segment. You guys come up

Justin 1:18:14

because You have a lot of stuff to pull

George 1:18:16

we're guys, we're speaking of segments.

Brent 1:18:18

We're,

George 1:18:19

We're gonna do the segment now where we're out of time.

Brent 1:18:21

Yeah. Which means that we should also circle back to a name if

George 1:18:24

the podcast. What was, shoot, what was the stupid one at the beginning?

Justin 1:18:28

it was The second one you said.

George 1:18:30

Dumb

Brent 1:18:30

Dumb ideas was the first thing you said. And then after that you said,

Justin 1:18:33

unsolicited un qualitative qualified

George 1:18:36

advice. But it's not just advice, right?'cause we're gonna hear stories too. Name that segment.

Justin 1:18:41

name that segment.

Brent 1:18:43

that segment.

George 1:18:43

I wrote down I

Justin 1:18:44

ideas is now feeling a lot better.

Brent 1:18:47

Dumb

George 1:18:48

is good. So I, I started a folder in my Google Drive for like,

Justin 1:18:53

as you do,

George 1:18:54

for the Craigslist for the stuff that I was putting in there. And I named the folder podcast. Me, daddy. So I just wanted y'all to know that. I don't want to name it that I

Justin 1:19:05

we say unsolicited advice? Is that one of'em?

George 1:19:08

Hold on. Lemme start a new doc. Okay, wait. Dumb ideas.

Brent 1:19:14

So definitely not George Cast. Then.

Justin 1:19:16

I think it was definitely

George 1:19:16

we're writing down George Cast unsolicited advice. Wait, unsolicited advice.

Justin 1:19:24

How would we just call it podcast.

George 1:19:26

Podcast.

Brent 1:19:28

That one might be hard to

George 1:19:29

I'd be surprised if somebody

Brent 1:19:30

didn't make

George 1:19:30

own podcast. But you know what,

Brent 1:19:33

it'd be a hard one to claim a copyright to. Olivia,

George 1:19:36

I will make you a deal that if it's not taken, it will be the name of our podcast. Podcast. The podcast or just

Justin 1:19:42

Justin 1:19:49

PTP podcast, the podcast. Deep thoughts.

George 1:19:56

should we? Deep thoughts. Write

Brent 1:19:59

know. What would be like if you wanted to actually, not that it would make interesting content to say this or anything, but like the, if you wanted something like a real, aim for a sticky name that would actually grab some attention or

George 1:20:10

something. Oh, we marketing

Brent 1:20:11

marketing to some degree, right? Even if that's just putting it on there so people can search for like appropriate keywords, but like

George 1:20:17

sexy,

Brent 1:20:18

You could take those, take these feeds, dump'em into, to

Justin 1:20:21

rap name generator.

Brent 1:20:23

No. Like to descrip so that it, gets all the, like the tech stuff. You could get a summary of that done. Dump that summary into GPT and have it

Justin 1:20:30

ai,

George 1:20:30

let's call it, let's call it Ai Bros.

Brent 1:20:33

Ai bros. Yeah.
